I am pretty sure the upper adjustable arms are used to center the rear end to the frame. I never heard of adjusting them to level out a launch.
The lower adjustble arms center the wheels in the wheel well openings

I have mine pre-loaded per Dick Millers book http://dickmillerracing.com/store/page4.html, seems like it is 1 turn difference. -Jim

And it really does help level out the front on launch as the pic shows. -Jim
